Episode Details

In the final message of his seven-part eschatology series, Pastor Partridge takes doctrine to daily practice, showing how a postmillennial outlook fuels bold, hope-filled Christian engagement. He identifies three key areas of confidence: 1. Evangelism: Grounded in the promise that Abraham’s “offspring” includes all believers (Gen. 22:17–18; Rom. 9:6–8; Gal. 3:7–9), Christians can expect the church to swell to uncountable numbers and entrust their gospel witness with optimism rather than pessimism. 2. Righteous Cities: Because the “zeal of the Lord” guarantees the growth of Christ’s just and peaceful kingdom (Isa. 9:6–7; 42:1–4; Ps. 2:9), believers should work confidently for godly influence in their communities—from school boards to city councils—knowing their efforts are part of God’s unfolding plan. 3. Church Victories: Anchored in promises like “the gates of hell shall not prevail” (Matt. 16:18), the church can face even formidable foes—historically and today—with the assurance that Christ’s reign will ultimately triumph. Throughout, Pastor Partridge contrasts this active, optimistic faith with more defeatist eschatologies, urging a return to a Bible-wide, Genesis-to-Revelation view that sees Christ’s kingdom expanding now through the faithful witness and work of his people.
